LEYDEN, Lucas van: Virgin and Child

🖼 Virgin and Child, 1523
Engraving
151 × 104 cm
New York, United States

Tender intimacy unfolds as Mary gazes downward, cradling the Christ Child in soft, luminous oil paint. Lucas van Leyden's delicate modeling and Northern Renaissance devotion established him as a master printmaker and painter whose intimate religious scenes influenced generations of Northern European artists.
